Helicobacter

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori prevalence varies greatly worldwide. We explored the prevalence of H. pylori and CagA seropositivity among adults aged 18-44 years living in the Netherlands by ethnicity and migration status (first vs second generation). Participants from six different ethnic groups were selected from the population-based multi-ethnic HELIUS study in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Serum samples were tested for H. pylori antigens using a validated Luminex-based multiplex serology assay. Prevalence ratios were estimated using Poisson regression analysis. A total of 4683 participants aged 18-44 years were randomly selected based on sex, ethnicity, and age. H. pylori seroprevalence was highest in the Ghanaian group (84%), followed by Moroccan (81%), Turkish (66%), African Surinamese (51%), South-Asian Surinamese (48%), and Dutch (17%) participants. All ethnic minority groups had a significantly higher risk of being H. pylori seropositive compared to the Dutch group. This association was strongest among participants born outside the Netherlands (first generation), but was still significant and apparent among second-generation participants. Among first-generation participants, all groups, except the Moroccans, had a significantly hig...Continue Reading

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
